Tenacious, Intelligent, Compassionate Attorney

Alexandra was an amazing advocate on my behalf. She handled my divorce with great professionalism, expertise and compassion. She sensitively discussed my options and made me feel like I was in the highly capable hands of a trusted friend. All of my questions were answered, and my phone calls and emai...ls were responded to promptly. Alexandra was very conscientious about costs, and I felt her billing was always appropriate. I never had a moment of doubt that I was working with the right attorney

Amazing, wonderful, ass-saving representation

Alexandra was one of the few attorneys who personally took my frantic call on an urgent matter last week, rather than handing me off to a staffer. She gave immediate, concrete advice, formulated a plan, and then she and her staff set about putting that plan into action right away. Not only was he...r advice quick, it was correct. We have just found out that the ridiculous—but very serious—problem that had cropped up, has been resolved. Alexandra was able to save our asses in exactly one week. I want to mention that Alexandra and her team also provided us with this assistance during a week when she had suffered a family tragedy. For that especially, I am very grateful. She and her associate, Emily, were also understanding in the face of my attempts to be "helpful," which were probably just annoying. I've had experience with attorneys in various fields, and I have to say, Alexandra is top notch. If you can hire her, do.

Absolutely the BEST!

I have been working with Alexandra for the last year and a half on my divorce which includes highly disputed issues over custody and support among other things. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My case has been very difficult due to a high conflict ex who has played games and attempted to manipu...late the system at every single turn. Through it all Alexandra has fought for me with integrity and honesty and an unparalleled knowledge of family law. Her insight and guidance have been indispensable to me through what has been a harrowing ordeal. She is passionate, professional and her instincts and tactics are always brilliant and spot on. I have watched her handle complex disputed matters in court with incredible skill, always getting the proper and just result. My divorce is likely going to trial in spite of many efforts from Alexandra and myself to settle with my ex. She works hard to settle your case but if you need to go to court she fights aggressively and skillfully and I am confident knowing she is in my corner. I truly don't know what I'd have done without her over the last 18 months and I dont even want to think about it!! In addition to her skill she is an empathetic and warm individual who truly cares about her clients. She maintains professionalism and integrity and does not tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear within the context of the law, and this is why I've come to trust her counsel without reservation. When you hire Ms. Lavinsky, you will have a powerful and highly skilled advocate who will work hard and get you results.

Highly Recommended

My experience in working with Alexandra on my divorce was excellent. I had virtually no knowledge about the process and the steps I needed to take - Alexandra and her team were exactly what I needed. Highly knowledgeable and diligent in attention to detail, her office exceeded my expectations in ...every aspect of representing my interests. During this rather emotional time of my life, I especially appreciated the balance Alexandra struck in handling my case. While always maintaining the voice of reason with my best interests in mind, she always fiercely represent my demands - even those that I now, in retrospect, feel were unreasonable. Having her office in my corner during this unpleasant time was a blessing. I would 100% hire her again.

Thank you, Alexandra and Wanda!

I have experienced a number of issues in regard to my divorce, most of which I have tried to manage on my own. The most recent issue though (responsibility & process for removal of a lien after settlement of debt after divorce), was beyond me, as the court provided no guidance, and I could not find a... clear answer online. I found Alexandra through Avvo and sent an e-mail. Wanda, her paralegal, responded to me in about 30 minutes (!), and was incredibly helpful and friendly in setting things up and keeping me informed. As I only needed a specific question answered, a short phone consult was arranged. Just 48 hours after locating Alexandra on Avvo, I was on the phone with her. I reviewed my situation and asked my question, and she had an immediate answer and guidance. Alexandra listens very well (a rare quality), so even if one doesn't frame the situation perfectly, she can distill the essence immediately and accurately. She has obvious command of the law and process, as her answer was definite and crystal clear. I really appreciate that she saw where I was coming from and respected that. Alexandra is down to earth, to the point, and comes across not only as a seasoned professional, but as a balanced and decent human being. I highly recommend her.
